Host Servers/ Adapters: All host systems are supported where the host vendor allows the host/OS/adapter combination. All Fibre Channel HBAs branded as Emulex, QLogic or Broadcom with line speeds 8 Gb/s, 16
Gb/s or 32 Gb/s, including vendor rebranded versions of the same are supported. AIX and HP-UX vendor branded HBAs, also support the 4Gb/s FC link speed. 10 Gb/s Cisco, Emulex and QLogic CNAs (10GbE,
iSCSI, FCoE via FC-gateway), including vendor rebranded versions of the same are supported. 10 Gb/s NICs for iSCSI connectivity as supported by the server and OS vendor are supported.
Following allowances for Firmware/BIOS, Drivers, and for specific Platforms: Any Dell EMC or vendor-supplied firmware/BIOS that meets the ESM minimum version for specified OS platform are allowed (Newer
versions of the Firmware/BIOS higher than the minimum version are allowed). For Solaris, HP-UX and AIX platforms, Dell EMC only supports the Driver/Firmware/BIOS versions supplied by the OS Vendor. For CNA
(HBA) drivers refer to ELN, https://elabnavigator.emc.com, for supported versions. For Linux Drivers not listed in the ESM refer to the ‘Linux Out of Kernel Drivers Support (LoS)’. If systems meet these criteria, no
further ELN connectivity validation or RPQ is required.
Switches:
• All FC SAN switches (4 Gb/s or greater) from EMC Connectrix;, Brocade, Cisco, and QLogic for host and storage connectivity are Supported. Refer to the Switched Fabric Topology Parameters table located
on the E-Lab Navigator (ELN) at https://elabnavigator.emc.com for supported switch fabric interoperability firmware and settings.
• All EMC-approved 10 GbE FCoE switches from Brocade and Cisco for host connectivity.
